*Brushes dust off Poison Quill's soapbox, jumps on top*..........
"Aside from the obvious, that I am a sailor, I will speak right out of turn here for myself as a ship-owner, and for 'Tales of the Seven Seas' as a member, and state once again emphatically, that as faras the 'piracy' of it all, I and We are only in in for the children..I love reenactments for historical sake, but when I change into a 'Pirate Captain', it's only for the kids. No bottle of liquor or drug found by man can equal the rush when the little sucker's start jumpin' up an' down upon seein' us come about, and the looks in their eyes when the first foot hits the deck...Sure, I'm an adult pirate reenactor, and enjoy the debauchery and feasting of it all, but it still doesnt' compare to that little bucaneer sayin' to 'is mum.."Lookit mommy, PIRATES!"...........
*Steps back down off soapbox, grabs rum, and steps back aboard*.....
